Dell and Ford Motor Company have announced an expansion of their recent sales partnership created to drive anemic sales for both companies.
“Our ‘Buy a Focus, get a Dell’ sales promotion has been somewhat successful, but we feel that with just a little tweaking, we’re going to have a phenomenal marketing campaign. So we’ve modified it to the ‘Buy a Dell, get a Focus’. So far, we’ve seen a big jump in the sales numbers.”
According to the marketing group responsible for the promotion, Dell’s sales are up over 400%. The promotion is limited to Dell products whose value is greater than that of a Focus, or $ 3000. Ford has also been moving units briskly under the campaign, but their sales numbers were not available as of the time of this writing.

it has to be _worth_ 00, or does it just have to _cost_ 00?

Apparently, the dollar sign and three, when put together, are some sort of escape sequence… That should be “Three thousand dollars”.
